The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Extended Systems Incorporated (the "Registrant") selected Grant Thornton LLP as the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. Grant Thornton LLP advised the Registrant of its acceptance of this engagement and the Registrant engaged Grant Thornton LLP effective December 27, 2004. During the two most recent fiscal years and through December 26, 2004 neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Grant Thornton LLP regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. On December 29, 2004, Extended Systems Incorporated issued a press release announcing it had engaged Grant Thornton LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accountant. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (c) Exhibits. EXHIBIT DESCRIPTION ------- ----------- 99.1 Press release issued by Extended Systems Incorporated dated December 29, 2004 SIGNATURE --------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

The Company expects to file an amended Form 10-Q/A for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which ended September 30, 2004, once the new auditors have completed their review procedures for such quarter. The Company had previously filed on November 15, 2004 a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 that included unreviewed financial statements. As previously announced, the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Determination on November 17, 2004 indicating that its securities are subject to delisting from The NASDAQ National Market because of its failure to file a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 containing reviewed financial statements. The Company requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. At a December 16, 2004 hearing in Washington, D.C., the Company requested an exception from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel for Extended Systems common stock to continue to trade on The NASDAQ National Market. The requested exception would allow Extended Systems to file its Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 once an independent public accounting firm had been retained and the review of the first quarter financial statements was completed. Extended Systems is awaiting a decision from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel regarding the Company's request. There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
